In-Person

This workshop is designed for high school or college students or adults who have never used a wooden letterpress. Participants will select an image or graphic design element to accompany their text; lay out text, images, and design elements on the bed of a letterpress; and print multiple copies of their single sheet.  Afterwards, participants will clean and resort the type and design elements they have used.  Each participant will take home two copies of their printed sheet.
 
Bring a text of not more than 150 characters (spaces included) to set and print. Experienced shop assistants will guide you through the process. Participants must be 14 years of age or older.
